Christopher Hitchens has an axe to grind, but her "miracles" are laughable frauds at best. So, her being given this treatment logically has to say something too. It's easy PR for an organization getting destroyed on so many fronts.

There is an entire process I was listening to yesterday on the Catholic Channel on XM Radio. I don't fully understand it all, but rest assured this is something that tremendous thought has been put into over the 2,000 years of the Catholic Church's existence. It sounded to me like it was less about what we would define as an actual "miracle," i.e. a supernatural act, but more about someone recovering from a situation in which they had tremendously low chances of recovering after Mother Theresa prayed on their behalf. We have all heard of stories of people making miraculous recoveries from illnesses that no one thought they would recover from. I think that's more in line with what we're talking about here.
But by all means, if you're demanding video evidence of her walking on water or something similar, continue to evoke Hitchens, etc.
